OK, so I am behind on my holidays. I leave for one weekend and the girls undertake a month’s worth of activities. Carving pumpkins and playing with auntie Shell, playing in their first basketball game of the season, rollerskating parties and dressing up for Halloween. They lead such a boring and inactive life.

Fun with Flash
I’m struggling with my Flash class. Oh, I get the assignments done and I expect I’ll do fine in the class … that’s not it. The problem is that Flash is fun. Steve says I’m “becoming a convert”. I’ve always dissed Flash sites. “Flashturbation”, I’ve heard them called. Silly splash screens with long load times and irritating animations which don’t work if the proper plug-in isn’t installed on the viewer’s computer. Inaccessible to folks surfing with screen readers. All still true and yet … Flash is fun.
Here are my first attempts at Flash animation and web design. Turn on your speakers (special thanks to my sound engineer, Steve). Don’t expect much … these are homework assignments and as such, projects that only a mother (and probably a sister) could love. I doubt Disney will hire me any time soon …
And now I better stop playing with Flash and get to work on Dad’s project. His deadlines are much tighter than my instructors!
